Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Great Britain, made up of entirely English players, won just one point as they finished in bottom place in the final pool positions of the PIA Champions' Trophy, writes Bill Colwill from Lahore.

After yesterday's rest day, they now play Spain today in the 5th/6th place game while the Olympic champions, Germany, meeting a rejuvenated Pakistan in the final.

If Britain lose against Spain it will not be the first time a British team has finished last in this elite event. However, the British management view the tournament as good preparation for England's World Cup challenge later this year.
